I'm just curious and don't want to open a thread on  the pros and cons of
Renfrew's approach here, but:

What are the ideological reasons which lead people to what you call extreme
anti-diffusionism and anti-migrationism ? What kind of ideology is lurking
behind this ? Could you sum up in a few words ? Really only curious.
